I have never had an issue with HF tools - some have been bought as a use it and throw it away after project is done type of item - seems to still keep lasting - Never bought any of their battery powered items (I.e. Drill/screw gun etc..)...might grab a little battery screwdriver to keep in the house sometime if. I ever think of it while I'm there...just to have instead of going out to the shop to get mine... Have bought many sets of common wrenches when they go on sale, - tractors all havce SAE wrench sets in the toolbox, equipment has certain items in the toolboxes (bales 1/2" and 9/16" wrenches for shear bolts, haybine said have 3/4" wrenches for cutterbars etc...) Had great luck with compressors, Brad nailers, oscillating multi-tools, $5 grinders, like their chain saw sharpeners until I bought myself a timberline...just like the job that the hand rotary file does better. When my used generac generator poos the bed, I am going to replace with a HF predator 8750... Got a replacement engine for my dad's old troy built rototiller...said it runs better now than it did even when it was new...lol Also...with a toddler at home and all of the associated toys...really can't beat their prices on batteries...I go through AA and AAAs like nobody's business...
Regarding the sawmill...man did I look long and hard at it...I really really really want to own a mill for myself...but I can't justify the price of a nice one...and based on reviews...I can't justify $2k for the HF. Just does not seem to be built the way you want one to be...too light in too many ways...which makes me sad...I really would like to buy it...have come close...but just can't pull the trigger on something I know I will be disappointed with...$2K buys a lot of bd.ft. Of lumber from sawyers who I know do a good job with a quality machine...if they ever drop the price to $999, I will be the first guy in line. That is a number I can justify...I can just hide it in one of the back barns so the wife never sees.
I think that sums up HF...don't buy things your gut tells you that you will be disappointed with.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
